Hastings District Council is welcoming applications from community organisations for the Contestable Grants Fund.
The fund aims to establish or develop community services or projects. Council has allocated $297,000 in 2015 to the contestable grants fund and applicants must show that they are able to make a significant contribution to
their project or service.
The applications are assessed by Councils Community Grants Subcommittee.
Subcommittee chairman Sandra Hazlehurst said: "Each application will be evaluated against council's criteria. Applicants should demonstrate that their project has a major 'community good' component."
Mrs Hazlehurst said the project should benefit a significant portion of the community and "the applicant must be able to identify the beneficiaries".
